How do horses in Iceland survive in cold weather?
Icelandic horses have adapted to the harsh winters and have learned to dig for food. They are small which means they do not require as much food as a larger or heavier horse. They grow exceptionally thick winter coats which are very oily to help shed moisture and they stay in herds for body heat.This, coupled with people caring for them has allowed them to survive on the island.

The most popular sport in Iceland, as in most European countries, is Soccer. The Icelandic word for soccer is FÓTBOLTI, which actually means football. Soccer is though, as you probably know, very different from the sport you know as football. As a matter of fact, Icelanders only know American football from TV and we don't have a clue at all about Baseball. We don't know that game at all. Hockey is not a big thing in Iceland either. We only have three hockey teams so the Icelandic Hockey Championship is usually not really exciting.
